Cool. That was a $300 day.

It takes an honest man to catch an 8lb-15oz. Most guys would round up to 9 lbs. Congrats on the new pb!

I wish all my lures/baits had orange bottoms. Very effective.

Good outing. Keep them coming.

Great video. With that wind & waves almost looks like lake erie.

Welcome aboard. There are a couple of guys on here that fish the Susquehana.

That's what you get for using bait. This contest is supposed to be artificals only.

Trophy hunting is where it's at for me. While i'm chasing a big girl the smaller ones always keep the line tight. I just don't target them.

LOL!

Nice bass expecially for MA.

Your lake looks real healthy now, Paul. Are you going to share that thumper secret?

I have seen them up to 12" out of Erie.

Jose was an a true advocate for saltwater sport fishing and a tremendous teacher. He will be missed.

And I thought your pro xs crapped out. WTG as always. Your a catching machine!

Congrats on a beautiful big bass.

Continue to put in your time & soooooooooner or later it will all click.

Jeff you need to do it before I die! I'm the old guy remember?

Can't fish easter Sunday so I snuck out today for a few hours by myself. Main lake temps from 44-46 degrees. More wind than forcasted but that's lake erie. Caught two over five & this fat girl. She went 22.5" by 17" and weighed 6lbs-10oz. Solid jerk bait bite.

I was thinking about wearing them over the rain bibs because our temps have been in the 40's but I was afraid the locals at the ramp would run me out of town.

Hooligan's point is well taken. Ever since I was a teenager I saved to buy cash what I could afford. I'm a big believer that quality tackle is worth the price & holds up long term. Buy the best you can afford & enjoy it. There is proven quality at many different price points.

Best for this year so far. 6lbs-15oz.

Slobasauras.

Now get that rod modified & stick that 7lb smallie.

Sounds good to me Steve.

St croix is my favorite.
